Down By The Water Festival

Down By The Water Festival is a unique open-air festival taking place in and around the maritime heritage area of Stormkop in Antwerp. The event brings together live music, electronic acts, art and alternative culture in a remarkable waterfront setting where industrial charm and creative energy meet.

During the day, visitors can enjoy an outdoor program featuring live bands, DJs and performances spread across multiple stages. As the sun goes down, part of the festival moves indoors, continuing the experience with nighttime concerts, electronic sets and surprising audiovisual performances. This combination of outdoor and indoor stages gives Down By The Water its own distinctive identity within the Belgian festival landscape.

With an eclectic line-up of emerging artists, electronic innovators and forward-thinking live acts, the festival offers a journey of discovery for fans of alternative music and creative events.
